See all- Turtle Trek in Pompano BeachNorth Ocean Park, Pompano Beach, FL
Come join an evening of learning about Broward County's favorite marine reptilians, the sea turtles! Following a debriefing about sea turtles, their habitats, and threats they face, participants walk the beach at this hotspot for nesting. During the walk, we will explain how & why nests are protected, about their incubation cycle and what commonly happens to the hatchlings on a densely urbanized beach like in Broward County. We’ll discuss hatchling disorientation due to artificial lights, why this occurs and what YOU can do to make a difference.
PLEASE SIGN UP ON SIERRA CLUB'S WEBSITE
Please note, there is no promise or guarantee that you will see hatchings. We will not visit or sit near nests that may hatch. Our goal is to educate and inspire you during your time to ensure a fulfilling experience.
